THANK YOU!
And thanks to Rich too. The links you two supplied will be of interest
to others, so I combine them here:
http://www.uneeda-audio.com/pads/ (includes a plan and enough theory to
make one think one understands what's happening)
http://www.megalithia.com/elect/mdmicatten.pdf (includes specific plan
w/ specific components).
I also really appreciate the advice about not using a jack socket as
output --- that is what I was about to do.
I've just order some parts and will post again when I manage to build
and try it.
That'll be soon I hope as I expect some migrants (Eastern Phoebes and
Pine Warblers) tomorrow morning
